“Nobody gets a dream done alone,” said Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. 
I have to give credit to nine-year-old Angelina Cuascut who was watching me work on this blog chapter at the Hunt’s Point Public Library. She had a sense of art direction that amazed me with sudden insight.
That one should go there and that one there, she pointed out like someone who can rearrange a Rubik’s Cube into a Modrian pattern in her dreams. 
She became part of a tour book on the spirit of a people. Her second cousin is the head librarian and a former Army Ranger. Her uncle, Jesse Narzario, was an officer who worked out of the precinct on Story Avenue. His funeral was held at the church next door to the library.
If there is one thing I can say to Angelina about her Uncle Jesse is this: he’s wearing the blue of the skies and the badge of the sun with the better angels of our nature.
P.S: I’m more than happy to just put fellow Bronx boy Joseph Lhota, the new overseer of the transit system on a police line-up and bring him among others to The Bronx County Courthouse gallery as Exhibit A. 
I just love community service, don’t you?
